Multivariate analysis of CVD risks in terms of L5 concentration [L5] and waist circumference (N = 57).

aStepwise multiple regression analysis was used to select the independent variables used in this model. The independent variables included the plasma concentration of L5 ([L5]), waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol level, triglyceride level, high-density lipoprotein level, and low-density lipoprotein level.
